The butter-making yesterday went OK as usual, and I even remembered to lightly salt the "spreadable" batch this time. The hard butter is mainly for cooking purposes and is never salted.

Results from yesterday's blood tests are in, and the glucose is 5.5 - and as the blood was taken before breakfast that is effectively fasting, which should be 4.0 to 5.9 for a non-diabetic. So no problem there. White cell counts are quite a way up, but that's an expected consequence of the GCSF injections and shows that they are working. Those are also going OK although I was a bit nervous about getting the first one right. Only one more to go, and no sign of the bruising or bone pain that some people say they get.

We've planned the trip to London to avoid public transport because of the COVID-19 risk (let alone other infections) particularly on the Underground. Uber is going to be doing well out of us for a while.

The "burn" on my right wrist is healing nicely, and everything else is OK. Just hoping that the harvesting process won't break the pattern.
